Useless planetary system
Unfortunately, the 8 planet system only has one planet at a suitable "Earth" distance from its star and that planet is probably a gas giant. The discovery of 8 planets is probably not revolutionary, it's likely many systems exist with the same or more planets, but resolution or motion measurements hasn't allowed for detection.
